Hello,

I keep getting this error message, I have changed file folders and nothing
seems to be helping, I hope someone can help fix this problem for me, thanks
=)

An unknown error has occurred. Account: 'mail.comcast.net', Server:
'mail.comcast.net', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number:
0x800C0133

That suggests you may have some corruption in one or more of the DBX files
in your message store folder. Try a manual compact and see if that resolves
the problem. See the info at this link about compacting your message store
folder: http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm#compact

Hi MajesticAngel,

I see Jim has already provided an answer, but this is ready to send.

The Inbox may be full or damaged. You can first try (from the File menu)

Choose to work in Offline mode for file safety
Next, choose Folders> Compact All Folders

This can sometimes repair minor problems.

Open the Inbox and move messages to a user created folder under "Local
Folders."

For the instructions below pay attention to the Inbox.dbx file only.

Close Outlook Express before working in the message store folder, (although
there are exceptions).

This behavior can occur if the client mail store contains a damaged .dbx
file. The damaged file is probably Outbox.dbx, Inbox.dbx, or Sent Items.dbx.

To resolve this behavior, remove the damaged .dbx file:

1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, and then click
Windows Explorer.
2. In Windows Explorer, on the Tools menu, point to Find, and then click
Files or Folders.
3. You may need to include hidden files and folders (Windows 2000 and XP).
4. Type Outbox.dbx in the Named box, and then click Find Now.
5. Right-click the file name, and then click Rename.
6. Rename the file to Outbox.old.

Note that deleting a .dbx file also deletes any e-mail messages or other
data in the folder. The Store folder can be found in Tools, Options,
Maintenance tab.Store Folder. The text for the path can be copied using a
right-click and then entered in the Start, Run box. OK to open the Store
folder. Each identity has its own Store folder. Disregard this method if
Outlook Express cannot be opened.

Restart Outlook Express.

If you still receive the error message, repeat these steps to rename or
delete the Sent Items.dbx file and the Inbox.dbx file.

Open the Store Folder



Instead of using search the store folder can be opened directly. Each
identity has its own store folder.



a.. In Outlook Express click on Tools, Options, Maintenance tab...Store
Folder.
b.. Place the cursor at the left of the text of the path to the folder.
c.. Drag the cursor to the right until the text scrolls to the end.
d.. Right-click on the text and choose Copy.
e.. In the Start, Run box right-click Paste. Click OK to open the store
folder.
f.. Close Outlook Express before working with the message store files.


Using Keyboard Shortcuts for Transfer of the Folder Path
Courtesy of: Jim Pickering, MVP-Outlook Express

An even easier method when opening that page is to use the Tab to
highlight the folder location, then Ctrl+C and close OE, then use Start/Run
and Ctrl+V. Same caveat about hidden files applies but can be easily
modified in Explorer by using Tools/Folder Options.
